Hi,
during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install,
remove (but not purge), and install again.
Before the second installation the package is in config-files-remaining
state. The configuration is remaining from the last version that was
successfully configured - which is the same version that is going to be
installed again.
Like a plain failure on initial install this makes the package too buggy
for a release, thus the severity.
it is even more worse. After removing the package it breaks dpkg to
install/upgrade/uninstall any packages. As a workaround you have to
manually disable/remove the old config file
/etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/needrestart.
I've improved the upstream config template to handle this issue
gracefully:
